So here it is, finally, the community for the fangirl* CKR catalog. Welcome! \o/
Because sometimes the information the IMDB has to offer is just not enough. Most importantly, it doesn't tell us if any given movie that credits Callum Keith Rennie is actually a movie we want to see. Is he in there for the whole movie? Or (much more probable) for a couple of minutes? Is he a good guy in this? Or (much more probable) some variation of creep? And the movie itself, good, bad, painfully bad? (See how I restrained myself and didn't offer any probabilities?) How does he look in it, how many people does he kill, will he take his clothes off?
The idea is to compile a complete catalog of CKR movies, including all the important information, as well as cross-references between the movies, actors, directors, filming locations and so on, via memories and LJ tags. And interviews, interviews as well. Print interviews and transcripts of radio and tv interviews.
If I did everything right I am the only one with posting access for now. And this will stay that way until the end of February, so I have time to work out the rules, find out what works and what doesn't, set up a system for the tags and the memories.
But after that I need volunteers, who are willing to take over for a period of time (either two weeks or one month), doing movie and interview posts. I think it's more important to have posts that are as complete as possible than to have many posts. I am aiming for one movie post a week. (This doesn't apply to interview posts, naturally) The first post will go up today or tomorrow.
Also, of course we need a banner for this community. Help? Banner-making CKR lovers?
Okay, I think that's it, anything I forgot?
*(or fanboy, as the case may be)

I love the idea, the name, and the pic you have put on the profile page - it would make a great banner if I may say so.
Congratulations!

Date: 2008-02-11 08:39 pm (UTC)Hee! Yes, indeed, so we can help ourselves. *dreams*

Um. That's... that's a good idea. I... okay. That's a good idea! *tries to find out how to do that banner thing*

Date: 2008-02-12 10:24 pm (UTC)The banner is awesome, it's exactly it!
I'd like very much to volunteer but am very bad at committing (re: the abandoned state of my lj...). Depends on the period I guess. Maybe at least this will entice me into updating my lj more (shouldn't be difficult)

Date: 2008-02-13 03:54 pm (UTC)And yeah, your LJ is the one I always check after you left a comment in mine, just to remember that it was THAT LJ. *g*
no subject
Date: 2008-02-10 11:50 pm (UTC)I hope you get bunches of awesome volunteers because WOE I cannot be one myself. :o(
But yay, you're doing it! It's gonna be awesome!!!eleven!

Well, you know, I said about one movie per week. If we manage to do that, we will be done in about two years. Maybe you would be able to find some time for LJ within the next two years. :)
And yes, yay!

Date: 2008-02-11 01:46 am (UTC)I volunteer for help with an of the Leoben stuff too.
no subject
Date: 2008-02-11 08:51 pm (UTC)So, yay, that would be awesome if you could do some posts. But about the high res caps... this is not a picspam comm. Actually, I will try to keep the pictures in the actual posts to a minimum. It's more about collecting as much of the available information about a movie as possible. I will do the first post tomorrow (I meant to do it today but I doubt that I'll manage it). And another one in a week. And I guess then we could try to find out what's important for a post and what should just be linked. Or something. Ahem.

I am really not sure if I can forgive you for that. :P
